Tonayne Brown tied up the game in the fourth with a solo shot against Grunwald, his second of the season. But Kansas City came right back with Pearson's double to score LePine and put the T-Bones up for good.

Kansas City got an insurance run in the seventh when Rick Prieto lifted a fly ball to center that Scott Samuels lost in the lights for a triple. Prieto scored on Cody Nowlin's single to make it 3-1.

Matt McClellan worked 1.1 IP of scoreless relief and D.J. Johnson hurled a scoreless ninth for his third save of the season.
